If you have a properly fitted helmet, it doesn't impede your ears or ears at all. It doesn't move around on your head when you turn. You have full range of motion in every direction.

I've only ever not worn a helmet by accident. It's not inconvenient to throw it on and I'm too old to care about helmet hair.
Its not about restricted visibility due to the helmet. Its about the sense of security that it provides (which if it didnt provide, why would you get one) that allows the mind to be more complacent when it comes to surrounding stimuli. Thats what Corsi mentioned in a person's risk appetite
